Although i get sick of Gotti threads i will try to answer it. I think Paul held off on killing gotti because he didnt want to bring more heat on himself. I think the original plan was to demote Gotti and reassign the bergin crew to other crews. I mean eventually gotti probably would of been killed but who knows. Also yes Gotti was tough and the Bergin crew was tough but lets not act like they were universally feared like the Demeo crew was. There were guys within the family or outside who would of done the job
